WA THABBITNEE A'LAA QASDIHIM

make me stand steadfastly their course,

وَتَوَفَّنِيْ عَلٰى مَا تَوَفَّيْتَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ

WA TAWAFFANEE A'LAA MAA TAWAFFAYTAHUM A'LAYH

do not grasp my soul before I be carrying the same principles that they carried when You grasped their souls,

وَاجْمَعْ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ

WAJMA' BAYNEE WA BAYNAHUM

and include me with their group

فِيْ مُسْتَقَرِّ دَارِ رَحْمَتِكَ

FEE MUSTAQARRI DAARI RAHMATIK

in the unchangeable abode of Your mercy.

اَشْهَدُ اَنَّكُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ

ASH-HADU ANNAKUM LANAA FARAT

I bear witness that you preceded us

وَنَحْنُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُوْنَ

WA NAHNU BIKUM LAAHIQOON

and we shall certainly follow you.

Then recite [Surah al-Qadr](A101) as many times as you can.

Some scholars add: pray two rak'at at each grave, then leave.
